Anyone reading this, I used to suffer from 24/7 intense derealization. The way I got better was by unconditional acceptance. You must stop analyzing and ruminating in your head entirely. It will take practice but you will get better at just letting your thoughts and feelings be whatever they are and not engaging or even caring what your brain throws up. Doing this overtime will cause your symptoms to start dropping one by one, and eventually dpdr will go away too. My personal opinion is that dpdr is caused by long term intense obsessive thinking and fear. If you think about it you have had dpdr symptoms for small instances in your past when you didn’t have this issue. I used to feel dpdr after studying hard for hours in school, but never feared the feeling because I just thought it meant I was tired. I believe it is a function of our brain when it is tired of intense thinking all day. If you have 24/7 like I did, it’s likely that you spend hours self analyzing and worrying everyday. Just my advice for anyone out there still suffering. BE LAZY WITH YOUR THOUGHTS, DONT GIVE THEM TOO MUCH ATTENTION OR FOCUS.
Cristy Lopez i might feel some slight dpdr maybe once every few weeks, but it goes away after a few minutes. I notice it comes back for a few minutes when I have a stressful day with not enough sleep. But I don’t even notice it most of the time now.
Cristy Lopez what helped get on the right path was the book “At Last a Life” by Paul David. He suffered from anxiety and dpdr for years and recovered 100%. He goes over everything.
Hey, I can relate to this about 5 years ago I only had dpdr if I was doing something new or if it was raining/cloudy and thinking about the feeling. About 3 years ago it came over me that I felt it bad being in the car only then now I have it all the time and it’s even worst in the car travelling still. I can’t stop thinking about how I feel and how life feels so unreal. Not long ago i had a bad panic attack I just don’t know how to accept it
I didn’t know that the horrible feeling of not been oneself normal that happens during anxiety or depression is called depersonalization. I’ve been extremely anxious since December 2023 and learning to identify and how to face DP has helped me tremendously. This young man is gold. Thanks so much for everything you do to help us !
Thank you so much! we are blessed that there is someone like you whom we can watch and have an idea of how to overcome DPDR. I'm still suffering DPRR but it gets a lot better with the help of your tips and vlogs thank you bro.
I had horrible DPDR after a panic attack because i was constantly obsessing there is something wrong with me. At that time I also was also stressed out from starting a new job that causes so much anxiety. Once i kept my brain busy by reading books, meditation etc one day I noticed I didn’t obsess anymore with unreality feelings
Swamy, I want to thank you so much for your free sessions, years ago. You were a true blessing, when no one knew what I was dealing with you were there in the midst of fears and awful thoughts. Although I would like to share something that completely took away every single symptom I was dealing with and it was truly believing in the following Bible verse: John 3:16 For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life. As humans we have fears of death, the afterlife, the spiritual realm. You will find so many answers to what you have been looking for in this single verse, my kind friend. Love and blessings being sent your way
I haven’t fully recovered. There is hope- I still have those thoughts that things aren’t real. Deja vu and i still get panic attacks. But I’m able to get through them. I’m not the same person I was but I’m better and I’m still growing and changing. Just gotta breathe and just relax keep on going.
Thank you so much for another helpful video, I want so bad to feel like myself again I start making the D/P D/R feelings worse, I know I have to just work with it and walk with it instead of constantly thinking about it. I just started back driving, thank you for the encouragement and support ❤
When you compare your DP/DR with others, you will always end up feeling miserable. Forget about them, you are different. Also, ppl get stuck for that long because they lack the right guidance, or they don't put effort into their recovery. Remember belief #2: Your body and brain know how to heal themselves. Comparing your DP/DR with others is putting unnecessary pressure on yourself.
@@voltzwalker72 bro from what I’ve learned the only way to get over this is to accept it. I had derealization for so long, and even now sometimes it’s come and goes but very short. It’s a long process, but once u accept it, like how u accept any fear, it not longer has that big of an effect on u and then you can slowly recover from it
I recently suffered from severe dehydration and it made feel very very weak and I felt like I was going to die , my heart raced maybe a panic attack , since then I've been different like I can't go back to how I was before , I often feel like my body is automatic and I feel detached also I feel no emotion but sometimes I laugh at jokes but these symptoms gets intense sometimes , also I find people around me really weird Since the episode I've had severe anxiety which has come down but sometimes my heart startes to race for no reason and I feel the symptoms quite high But since that day I'm feeling quite better , the symptoms come and go Could this be dp/dr? Please help
I have it and I'm very scared idk what to do I have panic attacks to and I really wanna get better but I don't know how exactly please someone tell me some tips please
Is delusions a symptom as in I kept believing I had many mental health problems without significant research and when will my my memory get back to normal
Hey Swamy I was watching conspiracy Vids and came up over the simulation theory was reading about it and solipsism and lead me to anxiety maybe a panic attack and ever since last thursday I’ve been feeling or thinking I’m living in a simulation I’m so scared I think I’ve had dpdr cause I felt like in a dream state before and it lasted for a couple months before I recovered has this happen to anyone else ?
I have dpdr all day everyday I had a bad trip on weed it felt like my brain was on fire, it was painful and crazy, within three weeks I was ok and started to get back to normal I had a sugar buzz and it triggered a panic/anxiety attack as soon as I calmed down I went to sleep the next day i had a panic attack but for literally no reason, I didnt have a sugar buzz or anything😥 I just kept getting paranoid every night and one night I got paranoid and thought my brain was forgetting how to breath and I got so paranoid I lost my consciousness and I called 911 it was so scary and I still kind of feel that way the guy at the doctors told me a bunch of lies he wouldn't let me explain anything he would talk over me he sent me home paranoid with my consciousness still gone. Ever since that doctor visit I have felt like I'm living a dream my brain feels light and my memory is bad I cant remember what happens through the day my whole past is like forgotten I just wanna heal I am going to be patient tho I know for a fact it is dpdr
Hey. I know you don't know me. But I've had many panic attacks that left me with DP/DR after while they would pass. This time around its harder. I keep thinking I don't know who i am and its hard to feel a connection to myself. But it seems easier since i started watching this guys videos. I had this 18-19 bad- I used to think I was dead after a couple of failed suicides. I had that belief for many months it turned into year I had DP/DR but it eventually went away. Same with this time it'll eventually go away. Yours will too. Doesnt seem like it wont right now. But just dont give up hope. You felt normal consciousness before i have too. I wish you luck. You'll be okay.
Dpdr are truama coping mechanisms swamy got a question I read somewhere 50% of the world population will experience dpdr in some point in there life but then it fades away then why does it for some people stay for a longer period of time ?
Hey Swamy I feel very detached from my own body like I am not this and it's just unbearable 😭😨, I try my best to feel better again but sometimes it's just took hard! Like I don't know where I am ,what's going on, am I a human? Or like I don't remember anything? My exams are ahead and it's really hard sometimes because of dp like I won't remember what I learnt plz tell me a solution 🙏, and wish me good luck and pray for my recovery
did you ever get concerned at the thought you can hear your own thoughts? I then try to think of what a hallucination will sound like saying the F word or a creepy whisper and it freaks me out incredibly. I don’t actually hear it but I hear it if that makes sense.
I had that fear and just generally was so caught up with "how can I hear my thoughts".. I think I mentioned it here ua-cam.com/video/mUQP6yNM_iw/v-deo.html
Ive had this weed induced from weed cookies. I had a good week and then i went outside, and i got acared and started having these sensations that im high again. I cry every day im only 15. Im scared because everything feels so dull and i cant get a sense of reality. Please respond i feel so hopeless rn
Hey Swamy I’ve been starting to work out and eat healthier but some mornings I wake up with dpdr and what could I do to prevent my dpdr when I’m in a car and I start fearing the worst.
Instead of looking for a way to prevent DPDR, try accepting it. You can't prevent it when you want. You can only accept. Healing can occur, but that takes time, effort, and right guidance. But nonetheless you can recover, check out my other videos and blog for more info.
@@randolfxy3419 u r so right. I am 15 years old and maybe u know we often stay long awake but have to wake up early and that is kinda holding me back from my recovery which started already. So a good sleep pattern and a structured day helps much but its hard in these corona lockdown days
Does do/dr make u feel like ur not in ur body or not existent. I got mine 4 months ago from a panic attack or built up anxiety and stress. I constantly feel like im In a dream.
Hello swamy can someone over come this a And live a normal life . I am suffering from this since 2005 I tried different medication and meditation. Couldn’t help me .. it’s even worsting during covid-19
Everyone can recover. Some people can take longer than others. It depends on getting a few things right. This is why I created this UA-cam channel and my website. Please be sure to watch some of my vids and read articles I've written here: acoachcalledlife.com/articles, the better your understand what is happening to you, the easier it will be recover.
Hey swamy G, I notice you have a lot of musical stuff in the background. After getting hit hard with dpdr In march, the most disturbing effect for me so far is that I currently feel nothing for music at the moment. Music has been my #1 love my whole life. Even with depression music was my 1 escape and comfort. Dpdr has taken all my comfort at the moment. I trust I will get through this. Did you go through these wierd feelings of detachment from music? Thank you for all that you do.
You are right, a few people I've talked to do feel disconnected from music, something that brought them joy before DP/DR. I didn't experience this going through DP/DR. Music was my refuge during those times. I think in the case of trauma-induced DP/DR, the higher-order functions and emotional processing areas of the brain tend to get shut down. I believe you may require higher-order and emotional processing to enjoy music which may not be available during such times. But when your DP/DR heals, all of those return, so don't worry. Are you able to concentrate and understand logic, science, math, and complex/abstract ideas? Are you able to feel emotions such as joy, love, connection? Or have those abilities been compromised as well?
Music has been my safe place for my whole life until this, The only thing I've been able to feel since march is terror and anxiety.. I haven't been able to comprehend much it's been a nightmare. It's frustrating that my family doesnt understand and they're mad that I'm not being productive. And its creeping me out that every one feels like strangers and the love and connection I felt my whole life is just cold.
There's no special tip for these symptoms. The problem is dissociation (DP/DR), once DP/DR goes away, all these symptoms will. Be sure to check other videos on how to heal from DP/DR. Also, did you know even people who don't have DP/DR report feeling dissociated when looking at a mirror? Of course, for them, they have to keep looking in the mirror for longer. But it's something that happens to all of us.
Swamy G okay thank u so much for answering , and for your questions no I didn’t know but I’m sure it’s not as intense and terrifying as with us who have dpr
@@RealSwamyG how can you know if your recovering ? im not sure if this counts but my vision is clear at first it was blurry and everything seemed distant i stayed in the bed for nearly two months scared to go out but for the last four weeks i been going outside but i just still feel disconnected from my mind and i have this numbness/floating feeling and a sinking feeling in my head sometimes did you have any of this when going through this ? do you have any tips that can help me connect with myself
